Throughout June we'll be highlighting thalassophobia and the fear of deep waters. This week the fiends Totemlydrunk and Grindhouse Zombie are getting in the water for one of the most entertaining exploitation films ever made - PIRANHA 3D. This one brings all the B's, features extensive and practical gore, and knows EXACTLY what kind of movie it is trying to be.

Throughout June we'll be highlighting thalassophobia and the fear of deep waters. This week the fiends Totemlydrunk and Grindhouse Zombie are getting low. We're talking crawlspace low, face down in rising floodwater low, and alligator at eye level low for Alexandre Aja's CRAWL. Joining us is Evan from The Kilt and The Redneck Reviews for a film that takes the most minimal possible premise and builds something close to a perfect creature feature out of it. We have a daughter, a father, a hurricane, a flooding crawlspace, and the alligators that came in with the water. The alligator's absence of malice here is more frightening than any amount of monster motivation would have been. Not every threat needs a reason. Sometimes the water rises and the things that live in the water come with it. Kick Watch Parties (Tues/Thurs 7:30PM PT on discord) Join our community on Discord: bit.ly/handlewithscare

Throughout June we'll be highlighting thalassophobia and the fear of deep waters. This week the fiends Totemlydrunk and Grindhouse Zombie are going deeper. We're going past the point where light reaches, past the point where institutional authority means anything, and past the point of no return that somebody in a position of power decided to cross anyway because the deadline said so. DeepStar Six knows that the abyss is not empty. It also knows who put the people down there without checking. Come find out what they found.

Throughout June we'll be highlighting thalassophobia and the fear of deep waters. This week the fiends Totemlydrunk and Grindhouse Zombie are going underwater, or rather, we're getting pulled into it. We're covering a film that has spent nearly 50 years being dismissed as a Jaws knockoff and deserves considerably better than that. Orca: The Killer Whale is not a film about a shark. It is a film about grief, vendetta, and the specific kind of reckoning that arrives when you destroy something that was capable of loving what you destroyed.

May's phobia is decidophobia and the fear of making decisions. This week the fiends Totemlydrunk and Grindhouse Zombie are dive into Jordan Peele's GET OUT. The horror at the heart of Get Out isn't simply that Chris makes the wrong choices. It's that the choices available to him were never really choices at all. We get into why Get Out is one of the most precisely constructed horror films of the last 20 years and how Peele uses every convention of the genre not as decoration but as an argument.

May's phobia is decidophobia and the fear of making decisions. This week the fiends Totemlydrunk and Grindhouse Zombie are digging into David Guy Levy's Would You Rather, a film that takes one of childhood's most innocent games and transforms it into one of a pointed exploration of class, desperation, and moral compromise. We talk about why the real horror begins long before anyone sits down at Lambrick's dinner table, what Jeffrey Combs' aristocratic sadist reveals about the aestheticization of wealth and power, and why the film's ending is one of the most genuinely devastating conclusions in recent horror memory.  Watch Parties (Tues/Thurs 7:30PM PT on discord) Discord: bit.ly/handlewithscare Watch Totem on Twitch (5x a week - 5PM PT): twitch.tv/ashcroftvt

This week the fiends Totemlydrunk and Grindhouse Zombie turn to our community's selection - THE TERMINATOR. It's been over forty years since James Cameron sent a killing machine back through time to hunt a waitress in Los Angeles, and The Terminator hasn't aged the way most action horror films of its era have.  Kick Watch Parties (Tues/Thurs 7:30PM PT on discord) Discord: bit.ly/handlewithscare Totem's vtuber twitch (5x a week - 5PM PT): twitch.tv/ashcroftvt
